[Random Cool] Revisit ‘Ghostbusters’ Filming Locations, Freddy & Jason Are “Toast” & Supercut of Movie Characters With No Reflections!
Kicking off this edition of Random Cool, above is a handy guide to visiting every shooting location (in chronological order) in a single day of the classic 1984 Ghostbusters, complete with reenactments of the scenes! It’s pretty amazing and even includes a full list at the end so you can join the club in remembering the four ‘busters who saved the day! (Now, if only the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was actually shot in New York…)
The Bleeding Cool shared details on a new toaster that will imprint iconic images from your favorite Warner Bros. films (including Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street; pictured above and inside) and television series onto slices of bread to make a fun impression on your breakfast, lunch or midnight snack! The extra-wide slots allow you to not only toast bread, but also bagels and more. UL tested and approved, it includes illuminated function buttons for cancel, reheat and frozen. The toaster design is a beautiful glossy black finish featuring the logo from the film or television series, and is a compliment to any counter top. Dynamic Forces is to produce toasters featuring Warner Bros imagery, including the likes of Watchmen, The Wizard of Oz, A Christmas Story, Where the Wild Things Are, The Goonies, Gremlins, Little Shop of Horrors, Watchmen, Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Mad Magazine and Friends.
Lastly, we’ve also added Vulture’s “Supercut of Movie Characters With No Reflections”. As they explain: “A vampire or invisible character’s inability to primp raises the question: How do they look so damn immaculate all the time?! Johnny Depp’s Barnabas Collins joins a fellowship of “invisible” superhuman characters who shun reflections in mirrors. In Memoirs of an Invisible Man, Chevy Chase’s hat floats six feet above the ground; in Beetlejuice, Geena Davis’s toy horse trots in mid-air; and Fright Night‘s Amanda Bearse spins around the dance floor with a handsome vampire, until they twirl past a mirror. Then boom! No date!”
In case you haven’t noticed, the public domain status of beloved icons like Winnie the Pooh, Cinderella and Mickey Mouse has been wreaking havoc on the horror genre in the past couple years, with filmmakers itching to get their hands on the characters and put them into twisted situations. In the wake of two Winnie the Pooh slashers, well, Pooh is about to battle Mickey.
It’s not from the same team behind the Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey films, to be clear, but Deadline reports that Glenn Douglas Packard (Pitchfork) will direct the horror movie Mickey vs. Winnie for Untouchables Entertainment and the website iHorror.
Deadline details, “The film follows two convicts in the 1920s who escape into a cursed forest only to be dragged and consumed into the depths of the dark forest’s muddy heart.
“A century later, a group of thrill-seeking friends unknowingly venture into the same woods. Their Airbnb getaway takes a horrifying turn when the convicts mutate into twisted versions of childhood icons Mickey Mouse & Winnie-The-Pooh, and emerge to terrorize them. A night of violence and gore erupts, as the group of friends battle against their now monstrous beloved childhood characters and fight to break free from the forest’s grip.
“In a horrific spectacle, Mickey and Winnie clash, painting the woods in a gruesome tableau of blood—a chilling testament to the curse’s insidious power.”
Glenn Douglas Packard wrote the screenplay that he’ll be directing.
“Horror fans call for the thrill of witnessing icons like the new Aliens and Avengers sharing the screen. While licensing nightmares make such crossovers rare, Mickey vs. Winnie serves as our tribute to that thrilling fantasy,” Packard said in a statement this week.
Producer Anthony Pernicka from iHorror previews, “We’re thrilled to unveil this unique take to horror fans. The Mickey Mouse featured in our film is unlike any iteration audiences have encountered before. Our portrayal doesn’t involve characters donning basic masks. Instead, we present deeply transformed, live-action horror renditions of these iconic figures, weaving together elements of innocence and malevolence. After experiencing the intense scenes we’ve crafted, you’ll never look at Mickey the same way again.”
